I've been specifically avoiding Ubuntu because of snaps, instead preferring Ubuntu derivatives that don't use it, like Mint and Pop.
And more recently, trying an entirely different approach with Arch.
And yes - I could get rid of snaps in Ubuntu if I wanted. But everything is just a little more annoying when you are going against the conventions of your distro.

I just don't see the point of them when there are flatpaks. I'm not super knowledgeable on Snaps so maybe there's some huge benefit I don't know about, but they always just seemed like a worse version of flatpak to me.

Until recently, I've had no real preference as mostly using RHEL clones at work. Now using Ubuntu...and snap has been causing issues.
I have ubuntu on my server and I really need to switch it. It's such a dick move when you apt install something and it opts for a snap. I just roll my eyes and groan when I think of having to back up EVERYTHING (music, media, dockers configs, compiled projects, random projects, etc) in order to switch the distro. I dont' have the time to do it. It's like nearly 2TB worth of stuff.

Whatβs snap? I use LMDE and i donβt think i have that.

When our powers combine we become....! Ah shit! I need yo reinstall, the snap is reading from the apt folder again!
So, I'm a novice Linux user and have been on Ubuntu for maybe 2 years now. And I'm just starting to hit the SNAPS wall - IE, just a bit too much of what I want doesn't install through snaps. Is there a good progression for my "next distro after Ubuntu?". Still need some training wheels, but ready to take the next step.

It's fine Snap, I didn't need to be able to set a default browser or connect it to other programs anyways βΊοΈ
